Koncentryczność. Wieczność miasta w świetle semiotyki kultury
Full text linkThere are two ways of considering the eternity presented in this paper: the eternity as a fundamental value, in the context of sacrum, and the eternity expressed as a temporal phenomenon. The author collates linguistic and semiotic view with the ontological and metaphysical one. The text is built on two axes: theoretical and methodological optic founded by authors representing Tartu-Moscow Semiotic Group on the one hand, and the metaphysical way of describing the presence. There is one notion that combines these two approaches: the centre. The text presents characteristic relations betweencultural system and its centre (centres), as well as the centre as a place of presenceand sense (according to the Western metaphysics) or, in contrary, as a “sacred nothing” (according to the Eastern metaphysics). The last part of the article discusses some Old Testament texts presenting Babylon and Jerusalem. Author refers mainly to the conceptsof Lotman, Toporow, Barthes and Derrida
"Nie mamy tu miasta trwałego". Edyta Stein o bycie wiecznym
Full text linkIn this article I analyze the cognitive possibilities lying on the boundary of the finite and eternity being with reference to Saint Thomas Aquinas and Edith Stein’sthought. According to Saint Thomas, the rational cognition, which covers what is calleda natural world, is the highest form of knowledge and fixes its limit. Edith Stein, on thecontrary, claims that a mystical cognizance, which bases on experience and empathy,enriched by the message of the Gospel, should complement the rational one. What’scommon in those two concepts is a reference to God’s grace – the moments of revelationenlighten the efforts of human intellect. Thus knowledge on the eternal being merges both natural and supernatural cognizance
Nadzieja na wieczność według Chantal Delsol
Full text linkMonique Atlan and Roger-Pol Droit both propose a reassessment of the dominant rationalistic pessimism of people through the perspective of hope. From this point of view, one should definitely learn thinking also in terms of hope. According toChantal Delsol, European pessimism can be overcome with Christian faith. The hope of eternal life derives from the Jewish and Christian principles of faith. The respect for eternityoriginated the great achievements of civilization. The philosopher attempts to transpose this spiritual program and values onto a social plan.Similar perception of hope in the perspective of faith coincides, despite the distinctarticulation, in the Peguy’s poem. For Peguy the figure of a little girl personifies the frailand weak hope. According to Delsol, the European hope can be rebuilt through the anthropologicalvision of a fragile man. Her concept of hope is based on the acceptance ofhuman imperfection
Od wczucia w człowieka do unii mistycznej z Bogiem
Full text linkThe philosophical thought of Edith Stein is connected with her life: life (praxis) asks the question to which she responds (theoria). Her philosophical work showsher personality (it is focused on searching for the sense of her own existence), being at thesame time personal (interested in a human being, at in discovering sense of our existence).Such à la Socrates philosophyseeksto comprehend life more thoroughly and thereby to change it. Stein’s way to herself starts with phenomenological empathy for (feeling-into) another man, with the intuition of another human being’s existence and with one’s own casual existence, and ends in a mystical unification with God, in the experienceof the fulfilment of one’s existence in the existence of God. The life and thoughtof Edith Stein – Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross are the testimony of searching for theTruth (theoria) and of being in the Truth (praxis)
Potęga czy niemoc wizerunki?W stronę semiotycznej analizy przedstawień Edyty Stein w cyberprzestrzeni
Full text linkThe author poses several questions: is it possible for the saint to have a digital image? Can we analyse the presence of the saint in cyberspace and is a semiotic view in this field possible? The main aim of the article is to indicate some of visual semiotic concepts, including those referring to digital images, and applying them to selected representations of Edith Stein found on the Internet. Firstly, the author tries to recognise differences between concepts and notions connected to visuality (for example picture, image and representation). In the next part, there is a passage dedicated to the concepts of presence and non-presence, action and signification of an image on the Internet. In the main part of the text the author describes and analyses selected images of Edith Stein found in cyberspace using a semiotic approach. The last passage contains a presentation of two different iconoclasm’s concepts: the theological and the poststructural
